How do enterprises move from AI experimentation to real, scalable impact?

Tim Piemonte, President and Co-Founder at Tribeca Softech, joins Ankur Patel to break down what it actually takes to implement AI successfully inside large organizations. Drawing from hands-on enterprise experience, Tim explains why aligning key stakeholders early is non-negotiable, how security and governance shape every AI decision, and why education and skill development often matter more than tooling. He also shares how leaders can communicate AI value to the C-suite, evaluate internal capabilities, balance quick wins with long-term strategy, and cut through the noise in an increasingly crowded AI vendor landscape.
